OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

[wolf_miner]

Hi, i need some help, "--balance" command can be added at the end of the command line or is necessary that is placed at the begin, to restore the default pool strategy can i use "--failover" command.

Thanks in advance W_M

PS is available in CGMINER for Innosilicon A2 chips (scrypt) ?

You can put --balance anywhere you want.  I usually put the command line switch's before the pool info though.

I don't think there is a --failover switch as that is the default.

CGMiner is a Bitcoin miner software so it doesn't support scrypt.

I need some help enabling privileged API access on an Ant S3.  I've tried modifying /etc/init.d/cgminer to include --API-ALLOW W:192.168.0/24, and also --API-ALLOW W:192.168.0.194, and cgminer never starts up. 

Can someone shed some light on this?

The instructions I've been using are:

• SSH into the AntMiner (user/password: root/root)
• Edit /etc/config/cgminer (e.g. using vi)
• Modify the api_allow argument to read option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.0.1/24' (for a 192.168.0.1-based network)
• Locate the line beginning with PARAMS= and change it accordingly: PARAMS="$AOPTIONS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 $_pb $_ow $_bec --api-listen --api-allow $_aa --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --queue 4096"
• Restart the S3 (e.g. using sudo reboot)

The 2nd change is specifically from --api-network to --api-allow $_aa (thanks to kano for discovering).

Where do I find the api_allow arg?  I'm not seeing it in there, and step 3 doesn't jive with step 4 if it's the same line that today has --api-network.

I'm sorry I'm missing something.

My bad, I missed a step in copying them over from my wiki (it's split into S1 and S3 there). Let me try again:

• SSH into the AntMiner (user/password: root/root)
• Edit /etc/config/cgminer (e.g. using vi)
• Modify the api_allow argument to read option api_allow 'W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.0.1/24' (for a 192.168.0.1-based network)

I'm sorry, I'm not seeing the line that has the api_allow argument (step #3 above).  As far as I can tell that line doesn't exist.  Lines with a # are commented out, right?  There is one AOPTIONS and one PARAMS, and neither has api_allow in it.

Try this one line change in usbutils.c line 893:
Change:

Code:

#define DO_USB_STATS 1

to:

Code:

#define DO_USB_STATS 0

Now i got new core file after this changes

Hi all,

I've got number of the Avalon Nano (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=779612.msg8841428;topicseen#msg8841428). I have successfuly downloaded and compiled fresh version of cgminer
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Avalon_nano#Cgminer_for_Avalon_nano

but ir can't detect devices whatever i did. I was trying
several versions including lastone from here
https://github.com/Canaan-Creative/cgminer/tree/avalon-usb
with and without the "--with-system-libusb" option

Would be appreciate for help and hints.

PS. bfgminer detects devices just fine and start hashing, but there another problem... it stall in minutes and need to be restarted. So my hopes targeted to cgminer.

I'm *NIX user (if it may concern...)

[salfter]

- Added an --enable-forcecombo option to allow building of driver combinations with drivers that are normally built standalone.

I'm rebuilding now...it's on a Raspberry Pi, so it'll be a while.

...and it's now rebuilt and running.

today, after a few days of stable hashing I have got this:

Good day,

i have a probem with Oscam

Code:

http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=30959

(and Easymouse2 Card Reader) and Cgminer on one Raspberry Pi???

They have USB conflicts and i don't know why?

The Oscam runs but when i start cgminer i have this message in cgminer:

[2014-12-03 17:57:21] FAIL: USB get_lock not found (1:5)
[2014-12-03 17:57:23] Icarus detect (1:5) failed to initialise (incorrect device?)

and at the same time in Oscam:

EA3410 r orf-ice [mouse] ERROR: IO_Serial_GetStatus: ioctl(TIOCMGET): Input/output error
EA3410 r orf-ice [mouse] Error getting card status.

so i hope everyone has a solution???

[Taugeran]

@conman @kanoi: I have a core file I'd like you to take a look at, maybe, please?

System: RPi

OS: Debian Linux 7.6

Miner: Cgminer 4.8.0, compiled from git commit 1f85488262af9dd679b159aa07e35d3eca73bcaa, configured to in a loop shell script to restart after segfault

Hardware: 2 Habanero units, 1 on each usb port of RPi

Conditions:

• Hardware is powered by Corsair RM1000.
• Hardware is operating at 575MHz
• Hardware reported Temps are below 80C

Events/Symptoms: Periodic random segfault of cgminer, either preceeded or proceeded (unsure) by USB bus ids for the Hardware devices e.g.:

Code:

/:  Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=dwc_otg/1p, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=hub, Driver=hub/3p, 480M
        |__ Port 1: Dev 3, If 0, Class=vend., Driver=smsc95xx, 480M
        |__ Port 2: Dev 9, If 0, Class=comm., Driver=usbfs, 12M
        |__ Port 2: Dev 9, If 1, Class=data, Driver=usbfs, 12M
        |__ Port 3: Dev 8, If 0, Class=comm., Driver=usbfs, 12M
        |__ Port 3: Dev 8, If 1, Class=data, Driver=usbfs, 12M

=========================================
Segfault
=========================================

/:  Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=dwc_otg/1p, 480M
    |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=hub, Driver=hub/3p, 480M
        |__ Port 1: Dev 3, If 0, Class=vend., Driver=smsc95xx, 480M
        |__ Port 2: Dev 10, If 0, Class=comm., Driver=usbfs, 12M
        |__ Port 2: Dev 10, If 1, Class=data, Driver=usbfs, 12M
        |__ Port 3: Dev 11, If 0, Class=comm., Driver=usbfs, 12M
        |__ Port 3: Dev 11, If 1, Class=data, Driver=usbfs, 12M

My concern is that if left unattended this cycle will continue until one of the Hardware devices reaches: Port 3: Dev 127, at which point im not sure if the next hotplug(reset) will succeed, lockup the system, or something else which would need manual intervention.

Hello all,

I have recently acquired a number of HashFast Yoli boards and am trying to get them running on my LinuxMint 17.1 install.  I've verified the OS can see the boards per dmesg ->

[ 4394.920837] usb 3-1.4.3: new full-speed USB device number 24 using xhci_hcd
[ 4394.938607] usb 3-1.4.3: New USB device found, idVendor=297c, idProduct=0001

[ 4394.939013] cdc_acm 3-1.4.3:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
 
*AND* I've verified that cgminer can see teh board (ther are many more ready to be plugged in) per ->

$ sudo ./cgminer -n
 [2014-12-07 20:51:15] USB all: found 17 devices - listing known devices

  Manufacturer: 'HashFast LLC'
  Product: 'M1 Module'                   
 [2014-12-07 20:51:15] 1 known USB devices

I've run cgminer in a fashion to dump the output to a log file per ->

sudo ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://5stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u BoomChaka_babyjet2 -p password --hfa-fan 100 --hfa-temp-target 0 --hfa-temp-overheat 106 --api-listen --api-network --hfa-hash-clock 550 2>log.txt

When I do this here's what I see in the log.txt / on the screen ->

It seems to me that cgminer can see the hardware BUT does nothing with it / everything hashes as invlid.  I have Habanero boards running just fine with this.  Could this be a thermal issue?  For reference I'm running the CoolT units (that sound like jet engines when they spin up)What gives?  Many thanks in advance for your reply.

@conman @kanoi: I have a core file I'd like you to take a look at, maybe, please?

Code:

#0  0x00041dc4 in usb_perform_transfer (cgpu=0xbe2910, usbdev=<optimized out>, intinfo=<optimized out>, epinfo=<optimized out>, data=0x0, length=0, transferred=0x0, timeout=0, mode=0, cmd=C_REJECTED,
    seq=0, cancellable=false, tt=false) at usbutils.c:3061
3061 else if ((endpoint & LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_DIR_MASK) == LIBUSB_ENDPOINT_IN && *transferred)

Hmm, that C_REJECTED command isn't even meant to be something to be sent to the usb as a transfer so no idea how it ends up with that combination - it ends up trying to send nothing. I'll poke around the code and see if there's something obvious.

I can try and recompile so there is nothing optimized out. May shed more light...?

cgminer not completing entire nonce

Running cgminer on an antminer u2.  I am feeding blocks to cgminer via getwork from my own, for lack of a better word, "pool" software.

When I turn on debug mode, the log shows the following:

[2014-12-08 10:13:07] ANU0: no nonce = 0xF1DD9A3F hashes (2.536145s)
 [2014-12-08 10:13:07] [thread 0: 4057831999 hashes, 1569.1 mhash/sec]

This is a consistent number of hashes across multiple blocks - always the same.

My questions are, why do I get a "no nonce" determination when it appears that not all the nonces were actually tried.

And how do I get it to try all the nonces?

You can't. It's the hardware that is determining how to hash, and the Icarus protocol devices abort as soon as they find a share. It makes no difference anyway as your chance of finding a share in the rest of the nonce range is exactly the same as finding a share in the same amount of nonces in a new work item.

What I need is to have a complete nonce run on a given work and know that it succeeded or failed.  Or, less useful, at least know which nonce values were tried and failed.  Is there different hardware and/or software that will do this?  Or another option?
